Hi Andy,
Thanks for your help. The thing that was throwing me off was the
compression. I had a 50Mb file among others and couldn't think how it
could be only 20Mb. When I zipped only the 50Mb file, it went down to
5Mb, so it looks like the compression was what was causing the
discrepancy.
Thanks,
Neville
